    It's not just the money. If you are playing in a covers band you should really be happy to play crowd pleasers. Nothing like playing to an enthusiastic audience, and without a fanbase you are not going to get that with an esoteric collection of obscure back catalogue.

    I tried the Guild a couple of years back and really didn't feel any major difference with the short scale. But then I might just be plain weird!
  3. Mykesbass
    Yes, thanks Pete. Will get the calipers out tomorrow.
  4. Mykesbass
    No Thanks Single cuts, gold hardware, natural finish (not fancy woods, but the 70's Fender that looks like a work top) pointy basses. Yes Please Anything that takes my fancy that isn't in the above (easily pleased)!

    I've just gone and confused myself on various spares websites looking for machine heads. I'm going for Scaller - had good experience with them in the past, but do I need BM or BMF for a standard Fender sytle headstock? This is a Mighty Mite licensed neck, and | need to upgrade the ones I got with the kit that I built. Thanks, Mike

    Sandblasting!

    "needs a bit of cleaning" 😏 Looks like the neck is (was) a lovely piece of wood, and the aging on the finish of the body is lovely, but can't help with any information.

    So sorry to hear this @Lozz196 Wishing you the best of health for the future.

    Very cool stuff. Will see if I can get to the Brighton gig. Thanks for posting.
  10. Mykesbass
    Yes, get where you are coming from Kev.

    Rumer? Or did you mean a drummer 😎

    Followed by Young Hearts Run Free. Getting back to politics, the Americans can be as bad, with Regan not having a clue about Born in the USA.
  13. Mykesbass
    Yes, I'm a sucker for nice arrangements. Probably due to having played (rhythm guitar) in a big band for many years, and growing up with Sinatra LPs on frequent rotation!

    Just heard this on 6 Music - might be a bit MoR for some, but I love it. Horns are fabulous - way better than Jools Holland's arrangements, and the harmonica solo soars above evreything beautifully. Nice end to an horrendous drive home on the A27!

    Way too young to be too old to join a band!! As to how to get back, networking. Jams, open mics, gigs. Get to know people, let them know you are looking. Good luck, and enjoy the ride (55, toured for first time last year).

    Going to see my old band tonight - mixed feelings...

      Not as good, naturally, but OK. Felt sorry for bass player (who is a mate) who was really nervous knowing I was there!!

  17. Mykesbass
    Nice work!

    Hmm, interesting new musical project in its formative stage...

      But of course @Mykesbass would be too young to remember them....

      I reckon it's a gothic interpretation of Steps œuvre.

      Think this:

      @Marc S I'm flattered - altogether now, "Chanson d'amour...rat ta tat ta da"

    Just sold an amp to Gavin - very easy transaction, great guy to deal with. Thanks.

    A bad gig I had a couple of times is where someone who loved us from our pub gigs booked us for a party. Our mix of Dylan, Creedance and Neil Young never went down very well at multi-generation family get togethers!
  21. Mykesbass
    Just a touch over 6' if I can straighten up!
  22. Mykesbass
    We'll knock me sideways with a feather. And checking multiple versions I'm not the only one to miss that subtlety! Thanks.
  23. Mykesbass
    What's the fourth note then?
  24. Mykesbass
    All three notes of it. Perfect!
  25. Mykesbass
    Ah, pushing on an open door with this one. WIll have my turntable set up again after a two year hiatus - must dig some Grusin out!
